Livestreaming the Hunt

After watching the ostrich flock leave, Wang Kui took a breath and glanced at the barrage.

"You can easily tell by looking at the eyes. The female ostrich is smaller and has very light brown-gray feathers, while the male is larger, has dark-colored feathers that are black and gray, and there are white hairs on the back of the tail. The two are generally The eggs are hatched alternately, so it is normal for a male to come to the nest."

"Furthermore, I also know that ostriches are part of the leopard's diet, mainly because there are too many of them. Ostriches have a strong personality and are often impatient, like a mental illness. When threatened, they will quickly launch an offensive. Its front is kicking It is so powerful that it can knock even a lioness unconscious."

"But this situation is just like their mad dash, it won't last long, so we don't need to fight them head-on. The most important thing is, it wasn't me who did this, so why should I be beaten like this? "

After saying this, Wang Kui happened to see the ostrich egg held in Gaia's hand, "Why do you want to steal other people's eggs?"

Gaia imitated the copper coins, but her face was also confused, "No, didn't you throw this egg to me?"

[I laughed, Lao Kui is so good at shirking the blame! 】

【Full marks for tea art! 】

[Gaia: I am completely speechless! 】

[I was scolded once when I was feeding the ostriches at the zoo before. The back of my hand was swollen and turned purple. Lao Kui was right. The attack power of this thing is actually much higher! 】

…

After briefly explaining the reason to the audience, Wang Kui did not stay any longer this time and instead urged his hunting partners to leave as soon as possible: "The pair of eyes of ostriches, which are larger than their brains, make their vision extremely sensitive and they can see When it comes to situations three kilometers away, we need to stay farther away, lest they get angry and charge for revenge later.”

"Furthermore, the entire area around here is filled with the rotten smell of warthogs eating bird eggs, which can easily attract other predators. We need to retreat first!"

After saying this, Wang Kui rode Galiban away to the north.

It was around two o'clock in the afternoon.

It is the hottest time in the Sabisen Reserve. The twisted heat waves are constantly steaming among the lush bushes, making the place look like a super-large maze.

"Roar……"

While running, Copper Coin, who was on the left side of the team, suddenly let out a low roar.

Wang Kui turned his head and took a look. From the height of his horse, he suddenly saw a touch of red in the weeds about seven or eight meters to the left front of the copper coin.

He immediately pulled the reins.

The horse's hooves stepped forward, and a large number of black flies flew out of the weeds for an instant, but soon fell back.

I saw an animal carcass that exuded a fishy smell and had more than half of its body torn into pieces. It was lying on its side, covered with dense flies. Each one rubbed its forelimbs, shook its wings, and inserted its mouthparts into the remains. In the flesh and blood, greedily enjoying this fat feast.

"It's a warthog!"

Wang Kui quickly judged.

Many people think of warthogs as wild boars. Although they are also considered a type of wild boar, they are very different from the wild boars in people’s minds. Warthogs are named after the warts under their eyes. They are highly social animals that live in groups. Good at digging holes and living in caves.

Although the carcass of the warthog in front of them was completely mutilated, the audience could still identify that apart from its similar body shape to that of an ordinary wild boar, the biggest difference was its head.

The proportion of the warthog's head and body seems to be severely imbalanced. The huge head accounts for about one-third of the body length and looks heavier than the body. Coupled with the large warts under its eyes, it makes its face look ferocious. Its pair of protruding and exposed, upward-curving, sharp fangs that are more than twenty centimeters long are even more intimidating!

"Except for North Africa, warthogs are distributed almost all over Africa. They have strong survival ability, are aggressive, and have high group attack power. Their upper and lower four tusks are very sharp. The only ones that can hunt them are lions, leopards, and spotted hyenas. Such top of the African food chain.”

After Wang Kui dismounted, he picked up a tree stick and fiddled with the body, trying to find out the cause of the warthog's death.

If it's a lioness, he can use this to locate the lions; if it's a spotted hyena or leopard, he can avoid it in advance; so, no matter who the predator is, this is very useful information.

[Could this warthog be the one that stole the eggs and was killed by the ostrich? 】

[Shit, you can’t, right? Are ostriches so cruel? 】

[Have you forgotten the American Eagle Owl that Xiaobai and Lao Kui met when they participated in the North American Fishing King Competition? It’s so bloody! 】

…

In the live broadcast room, most water friends thought it was an ostrich that killed him.

"The corpse is very fresh. It has just attracted flies and has not yet rotted and maggots have grown. This means that the death will not take long. The corpse has been eaten. However, judging from the multiple fractures in the bones on the body, the fatal injuries should be caused by blunt blows with great force."

"Generally speaking, predators such as lions, leopards, and spotted hyenas use teeth and claws. Even if you use your claws to shoot, you can't break this nearly 70 kilogram warthog in one go. There are multiple ribs, and the spine seems to be broken..."

Wang Kui thought about it carefully. Although the ostrich's feet can create a great blunt blow effect, with its size of nearly 300 years old, its power cannot be much greater than that of a lion.

Even a male lion cannot break all the bones of a warthog of this size with one slap.

He could even imagine the scene where the warthog would have its ribs and spine broken by this huge force, its internal organs would rupture and bleed, and it would fly away. Conventional animals would never be able to do this!

unless……

"It's a creature of a larger level!"

Wang Kui's pupils shrank, he raised his head and looked around, and suddenly discovered that there was a Podocarpus pine on the front left side of the body. The tree was not the focus, but the bark was covered with a layer of black and gray mud.

"This is the mud scraped by animals. Most of the animals with this habit like to play in pools, such as wild boars, hippos, and rhinoceroses. But those that can scrape to this height..."

Wang Kui stared at the mud-stained bark on the tree trunk more than three meters high, "There is only the largest mammal on land: the African elephant!"

He came closer and rubbed it with his fingers. The surface of the mud was still a little wet, which proved that it had been left there not long ago.

“It looks like there are African elephants and water sources nearby!”

Because Wang Kui has been tracking the traces under the sun since this morning. When he walked along the Shahe River before, he could still get a stable water source, but now the kettle has bottomed out.

Although there is still a large bottle of water in Galiban's backpack, who knows if we will encounter a new water source if we continue to move forward.

so.

Every time you encounter a water source in the wild, you must cherish it. After all, if a person has no food, he can survive for half a month, but without water, he cannot survive even three days.

then.

Wang Kui started looking for the elephant's footprints.

The traces of a giant beast of this level are very easy to find. If you look at it casually, you can find the pit mark the size of a small washbasin. He followed the elephant's footprints all the way through the trees.

Unexpectedly, the next second, the front suddenly became clear.

"Ugh——!"

With a sharp shout, the audience saw several huge African elephants standing in the red-yellow open space in front of them!

Water lovers have all seen creatures like elephants.

Including the Asian elephants that Lao Kui met during his previous live broadcast in Laos, and the rainforest elephants that he met in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, but compared with African elephants, these two are really younger!

With dark gray skin, a height of nearly four meters, and a six-ton ​​body, it looks like a heavily armored giant tank, with a full sense of oppression.

The big ears, which are 1.5 meters long, spread out in pairs, like cattail fans, and the nose stretches high into the air, like a towering anti-aircraft gun barrel. The most eye-catching thing is its two tusks as thick as human arms. It’s destructive at first glance!

"It's an African bull elephant!"

Wang Kui held his breath, "It is in an angry position now. Look, there are a mother elephant and a baby elephant nearby. It is protecting its wife and children!"

"The warthog just now probably strayed into the territory of the elephant herd and caused the attack of the bull elephant. As a land herbivore, it deserves to be the first in the combat echelon. No, it should be regarded as the king of the land, because there is no A creature can defeat it in a single fight. With a size of nearly 7 tons, it can trample me into flesh with just one kick, and my spine will be broken in half if it pushes me!"

to be honest.

This time it didn't take Old Quekop, the audience could tell that the African bull elephant seemed angry.

now.

It was staring at Wang Kui and his hunting companions with its eyes as black as briquettes.

The other elephants on the side slowly gathered around and protected the little elephant behind them.

This feeling is like a little girl walking at night and being surrounded by a group of gangsters in a dead end. The terrifying and intimidating feeling is so overwhelming that it is almost breathless!

【Fuck! So scary! 】

[On that day, mankind finally recalled the fear of being dominated by giants! 】

[Lao Kui, run! 】

[If you run now, the elephants will catch up, right? 】

…

“500 people are killed by African elephants every year, and most of them are done by male elephants who protect their young. When encountering intruders, these young elephants will be moved to the back or side of the herd, and the male elephants will quickly push against them. The front end, going head-to-head with the threat, its ears will be fully open like they are now.”

"When encountering this situation, never run away. Although elephants are heavy, they can run at speeds of up to 50 kilometers per hour, crushing all kinds of trees along the way, which is far faster than the starting speed of a car. All we need to do is squat. Come on, stay calm."

When he said this, Wang Kui actually followed the behavior he described and squatted down:

"Do you still remember what I taught you when I met wild boars during my first live broadcast in Sigou Mountain? It is the same as this. Wild boars are mainly omnivorous, and herbivores such as elephants and rhinos do not hunt themselves. , don’t like killing, they just want to protect their territory and cubs, so we just need to make ourselves look non-threatening.”

originally.

The audience was also worried that if Lao Kui squatted down like this, the bull elephant would charge up.

Unexpectedly, it gradually closed its ears and relaxed them as described.

"It no longer regards me as a threat. As long as we retreat quietly at this time, there will be no problem. But if I stand up, roar loudly, and stare into its eyes, it will definitely rush over without hesitation. !”

Wang Kui said softly while retreating to the rear.

Seeing Lao Kui and his hunting companions sneaking away calmly under the eyes of the African elephants, the barrage in the live broadcast room once again started a wave of [666] rhythm.

Especially those foreign water friends from the international version.

Because I rarely watched Wang Kui’s live broadcasts before, now that I see such awesome operations and all kinds of beautiful vocabulary, I almost ran out of English dictionaries!

"It's all basic skills, don't be stupid. In fact, as long as you are familiar with the habits of animals and deal with problems calmly, everyone can do it."

After leaving the elephant herd, Wang Kui dared to raise his voice a little louder, "You just need to remember that when you encounter herbivores, you have to be timid. When you encounter carnivores, it's just the opposite. You have to be as arrogant as possible."

"Make noise, wave your arms to expand your size, and show your strength, so that the other party will not dare to attack you rashly, because predators are most afraid of getting hurt. If you act cowardly, they will treat you as prey!"

Although there was no water source found in the open space just now.

But Wang Kui not only noticed the warning from the male elephants, but also noticed that the elephants were generally a little wet. Thinking about the moist mud on the bark of the Podocarpus tree before, he could judge that the water source must be around the open space, " Elephants are inseparable from water. They drink 190 liters of water every day and rely on mud to keep cool. The water source must be in the direction where the elephants come from. Let's go around from the east!"

Who would have thought.

In such a dangerous situation just now, Lao Kui still had time to care about whether the elephant's skin was wet or not. This was exactly what he said: "A man with great skills is bold"!

soon.

Wang Kui found the muddy elephant footprints after taking a detour. From the wet mud clinging to the weeds, he could tell that the water source was not far away!

"Over there!"

Passing through the trees in front, a small yellow lake appeared in front of the audience.

"We have to be careful. There will never be peace near water sources. Whether they are herbivores or predators, they will always compete for the scarce resource of 'water'. Another thing that needs to be considered is the current weather. "

"In such a hot environment, if I were a predator, I would hide somewhere in the shade near the pond, hide, and wait for the first stupid animal to come here and reveal its whereabouts."

Wang Kui picked up the telescope and carefully observed the area around the lake. Then he skillfully picked up the soil on the ground and sprinkled it down to determine the wind direction.

"At this time, be sure to observe more and try to find a leeward position to avoid exposing your own scent. Look for a place with trees to reduce the chance of exposing yourself too much in an open environment. The trees and vegetation are lush, so it is difficult to escape when you escape. easy!"

【666, it’s all details! 】

[I have already picked up a small notebook and jotted it down! 】

[I feel like after watching Lao Kui’s live broadcast so many times, I can become a professional hunter! 】

【Lao Kui! There seems to be something going on in the west! 】

【west! west! 】

Two-in-one, please vote for me!
